Workshop StrokeTech

Call for Workshop Papers

Stroke and technologies: advances and challenges

Trento, Italy

Co-located to the Pervasive Health 2019 Conference

Scope

This full-day workshop aims to initiate a discussion on emerging technologies for post-stroke activity monitoring and rehabilitation. We are interested in the design and presentation of sensing and stimulation devices and approaches, as well as in the user experience with such technologies. We would like to invite researchers working in the fields of human-computer interaction, computer science, cognitive sciences, psychology, psychophysics, and mechatronics to submit a position paper and/or a demo presentation dealing with topics such activity sensing, bio sensing, bio feedback, new interaction techniques, robotics, and specific evaluation methods targeted to stroke survivors, and their formal and informal carers.

Topics

Workshop topics include but are not limited to the following aspects:

Sensing technologies for stroke survivors’ activity monitoring

Biosensing for the same application

Emotion-sensing

Technologies for stimulation and feedback

Rehabilitation technologies

New interaction techniques, on both hardware and software

Implementable models for stroke risk calculation

Implementable models for health behaviour change

Indoors and outdoors navigation support for stroke survivors

Design methods and guidelines for such applications

Specific evaluation methods and criteria

Workload and user performance

User experience and satisfaction

Business perspectives for technologies for stroke survivors

Publication

Workshop papers will be published together with PervasiveHealth Proceedings.
